Contains three novels by Jojo Moyes, including "Me before you" in which Louisa Clark, an ordinary girl living an ordinary life, takes a job working for Will Traynor who is wheelchair bound after a motorcycle accident; and "After You" in which Louisa Clark, struggling without Will, joins a support group where she meets paramedic Sam Fielding, but then a figure from Will's past appears and hijacks all of Lou's plans, propelling her into a very different future; and "Still Me" in which Louisa Clark arrives in New York ready to start a new life, confident that she can embrace this new adventure and keep her relationship with Ambulance Sam alive across several thousand miles.

Silver Bay
Same author's quiet grief-and-opposites romance, with a seaside community and a guarded single mother, but a warmer, fully happy ending.
Me Before You
The standalone core of the seed story: same caregiver romance and slow-burn ache, minus the later New York chapters.
Beach Read
Grief-driven opposites-attract with a writerly banter edge; much spicier and lighter in tone than the seed's tragedy.
Heart Bones
Grief and class-gap opposites attract over one summer, but darker family trauma and far more explicit heat.
L'Eté devant nous
Loss of a parent shadows a slow-burn love story; younger cast, love-triangle angst instead of caregiving sorrow.
The Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy
Grief and illness thread through a tender slow-burn romance, though it's coming-of-age summer nostalgia rather than adult heartbreak.
